Does anyone know how to put a picture with your profile so people can actually see who they are talking to.  Thanks

You have your profile picture (avatar) set to a link like this:

Code: [Select]

http://WWW.MYSPACE/COM/IMPATCH
I think the link you need is the actual picture there:

I'm not sure if myspace pics work, though. Let me try it as an image:



Okay, that seems to work. Try putting that in your profile. I hope that is you.

Thanks, it worked

Great picture, but which one are you? Patch is a hard name to decipher???

[Patch]

I'm the guy. Yes, Patch is confusing. Its a name my wife gave me because my AN side eye brow, part of it turned white. strange, It wasn't like that until after I got my radiation treatment??

[MAlegant]

Thanks for clearing that up.  The picture is beautiful and you and your wife are as well.  Also, thanks for explaining the nickname--it's strange what surgery and/or radiation will leave in its wake.  I know we all have stories about that.
All best,
Marci

Marci, I see you are from my neck of the woods. I'm from Elyria but moved down to the columbus area in 2006 after I got married. How are things up there. Thee is so much difference in the area compared to the Cleveland area. I heard University Hospital is a good one, did you consider Cleveland Clinic?

Hi Patch... good to have you here... in looking at your past posts, you mention you had radiation but not which kind of radiation.... can you please share? Was it Gammaknife, Cyberknife, FSR, Trilogy, etc?

thanks!

Hi, Patch:

Just wanted to welcome you and thank you for the charming photo of you and your lovely wife. 

I'm glad to learn from your posts that you're doing well following radiation and are seeing some tumor shrinkage on your MRI scans.  Me too (see my signature).  Please tell us more about your AN experience.  We like to hear from folks who've been through surgery or radiation (or both) and done well.  It's encouraging for the newly diagnosed who visit these forums - and instructive for others.  Again, please accept our collective appreciation for your post and the photo.   Now, don't be a stranger! 

Jim
